Racism will be here for eternity, it is human nature. It is a minority and isn't worth spending the time to talk about it. Remember, it was not very long ago that e-mails and posters of George Bush looking like a monkey were everywhere. If they put pictures of Obama looking like that would it be racist, or are they saying he is stupid like I presume the liberals thought Bush was?

let's be careful that we do not let the liberal progressive left label things as racism that are not. You say that racism will be here for eternity. Are you sure that you mean racism or perhaps you mean discrimination. I agree with you that if you mean discrimination it will in fact be here for ever. People discriminate every day. Some people like Chevrolets some people like Fords. Some people like roast beef sub people like none.

Is it racism if you think that black inner-city culture is not as good as traditional Anglo-Saxon white culture? Is that racism? If you state that there are more black criminals in our jails which have beens to be true. Is that racism or just an observation of the facts. I think we have to be very careful as to what we call racism. People have been playing the race bating game for too long.

Culturalism is not racism.

Just some thoughts

Those that question that racism is rampant...Maybe you ought to look up the term CULTURAL RELATIVITY... Putting yourself in someone elses shoes....

if the so called partisan loggerhead(s) are the current excuse for not being able to get things done....why did he not breeze through all the things he wanted when it was all Dem controlled???

I truly believe he thinks he is a catalyst, a thinker, a talker, a promiser and that it is up to everyone else to do something. I further believe he really feels he has addressed an issue/problem when he speaks about it...then he is done. What else could one conclude when most of what he says or promises just hits the floor when he leaves the microphone or the teleprompter stops scrolling.

He cannot assess leadership since he has never lead.

This is not bashing, it just happens to be the as-is persona/capability (or not) of the man. He talked his way into the WH...I guess in some fashion they all do, but some do deliver on SOME of what they talked about. Obama's can point to multi billion $$$$ stimulous programs and Obama care...one of which did not work and the other will not work.

Just listen as he puts "congress" between him and getting the job done...

Just say no..that's the mantra..What exactly do the Republicans propose? I know the plan of our reps, Rubio and Nugent, more subsidies to greedy corporations such as Exon...ALL INCUMBENTS OUT

BTK..If you are talking of me, it is based on FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE..I got the e-mails from several local tea party activists..A fellow poster stated that at the town square an official representative of the tea party,manning a table for the organization, was making statements that absolutely were racist..Yea I know the difference and pretending it doesn't exist doesn't make it untrue...

What would it be about a guy who somehow gets all the people who are racists to open up about their feelings and freely admit their rabid racism to this one individual?

I've gone through life and conversed with thousands of people, i guess, and the subject doesn't seem to come up. It's a puzzlement.

Well, I guess I won't dwell on it, as it seems an absurd thing, and it's best to just ignore the whole issue.

you people lose the point entirely...I can't cure the racism,that's on them that believe in it..What concerns me is that is to some, driving their decisions...solely.....It comes in subtle ways and is not sought out..If you are a "regular kind of guy from a similar ,working with our hands,background" then it is easily brought out...Especially from the south and midwest it seems,that is where I encountered it..In Pa at the original meetings I attended,it was not at the forefront and I can truthfully say I never witnessed it as a "decider". There they actually were on the right track but because of the two party system, and the newness of the tp, their candidate was of low quality and finished dead last. I see them currently,as extremists with a "my way or the hiway attitude" as recently demonstrated in congress,and tacidly condoning racial bigotry.
